Such a thing as being too positve?
Posted on May 21, 2009 at 6:00pm 6 Comments 1 Like
So I'm majorly reliving my diagnosis upon this anniversary of 1 year ago this week. And not at all in a positve way. All the anger, frustration, resentment, despair, depression...it's all been very strong this week. I haven't been llike that continuously for the past year, but I always had those moments, which from reading other D's stories, seems normal.

Constantly evolving your practices since diagnosis

I was diagnosed 1 year ago, May 08. In the summer, I remember I would go to the restroom to test or shoot up. Now? I've shot up in the movies, at the dinner table, in my car at the stoplight, and on a moving subway. Why was I concerned about other people feeling weird when I had to inject MYSELF? I WISH someone would tell me it makes them uncomfortable now. I would tell them: f.u.! I gotta do it 4 times a day to live. Who's the one uncomfortable?
On my 1 year anniversary of being diagnosed with Type 1

Dear pancreas,
It's been a year since you decided to let me know you were no longer going to produce the insulin I need to live. I'm still angry at you about this. I hope we can make peace soon, because I miss my old self so badly but I know you can't change your destruction. I want to forgive you. I want to understand. I hope one day I do.
Truly,
Your mind & soul.

earthling said… Hi Jennifer. I just stumbled upon your query about homeopathy from awhile back. Homeopathy works wonders for me too. Does arnica still lower your BG? What dilution were you taking? I learned homeopathy when my children were young. I used various remedies to heal their illnesses both serious and common. Sometimes I couldn't find the "right" remedy, but often, almost every time, I could. Was able to spare them the endless antibiotics modern children are (over)dosed with.
As for the mechanism of its effect, it is not mechanical like allopathic medicine. it is energetic. There is a book named "The Field" that discusses quantum (physics) level phenomena in terms almost accessible to lay people. I found it a tough read, but fascinating because I too wondered how the heck remedies could possibly work so effectively as my actual experiences had shown me?? (I was raised in an M.D.-infested family where >Science< was the ONLY accepted religion...) Anyway, she explains it really well somewhere in the middle of the book,
Everyone poo-pooed Newton and Galileo too. Because what people of that time took to be absolute proven truth, well.. it wasn't!

Terry said… - Jennifer - Thanks for the friend request. Yes, I was a little taken aback by the harsh judgement of some fellow diabetics here regarding the Walgreens clerk. Some people's sense of justice is black and white with never a consideration for the human element. If justice was that simple then it could be administered with a machine/computer! Because there's a human element in every case our system uses human judges and juries. I really like your rhetorical question about why there appears to be such a lack of support for our diabetic sister. Well stated!
I've seen Kelly's response to your comment and am unmoved by her arguments. I need to leave that thread alone for now!

Tim aka "Dj Insulin" said… - Hello,
Yep the economy killed underground music where here in DC. It wasn't a huge scene to begin with and honestly I do it as a side job for extra spending and fun. I haven't played much at all this year. Seems that all the clubs down here have gone to pop/dance music. I'm hopefully playing a few gigs in August but till then i'll just keep writing music and enjoying the warm weather!
